Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases.
- Spread berry preserves evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Mix melted butter with vanilla extract and brush over the preserves.
- Cut the pastry into 8 equal strips using a sharp knife. Carefully twist each strip several times to create spiral shapes, then place on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush each twist with beaten egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar. This creates the golden color and sweet coating.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed. The pastry should be crispy and the sugar caramelized. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure puff pastry is completely thawed but still cold for best results. Don't overfill with preserves or the pastry may become soggy. Twists can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days.
